Jeremiah 16:14-21
Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the LORD, when it shall no
longer be said, "As the LORD lives who brought the people of Israel up out
of the land of Egypt," but "As the LORD lives who brought the people of
Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he
had driven them." For I will bring them back to their own land that I
gave to their ancestors.
I am now sending for many fishermen, says the LORD, and they shall catch
them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them
from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my presence,
nor is their iniquity concealed from my sight. And I will doubly repay
their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the
carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with
their abominations.
O LORD, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in the day of trouble,
to you shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
Our ancestors have inherited nothing but lies,
worthless things in which there is no profit.
Can mortals make for themselves gods?
Such are no gods!
"Therefore I am surely going to teach them, this time I am going to teach
them my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is the LORD."
